Ok, so I know in the book it says 1 pack master per two rat ogres. Now I've seen people put as many as 5 packers in a six man ro unit. What I wanna know is...where can I find the errata/FAQ letting me do that? With my gaming group that'll be a neccessity :)

Back to retirement!

The Skaven book does indeed say 1 per 2 Rat Ogres. BUT GW recently released FAQ's on their website for individual army books for 8th edition which countradicts this. It is still 1 master per every 2 Rat Ogres, but for some reason you ignore the first packmaster for these purposes. So you can have 2 for 2-3 Ogres, 3 for 4-5 Ogres and 4 for 6 Ogres. I dont think you can get 5 for 6 Ogres though...

Check the GW wbsite for this list of FAQ's :)

It never said in the first place that the one you start with counts towards the max you can add, people just assumed it did.

The old FAQ said it did so that is how it was run till the most recent FAQs changed that.

They could save a lot of trouble by just making it 1 for 1 as in the old book. It's not like it's that big of a difference, especially given how much of a liability it is to only have 3 PM's in a 5 RO unit.
